Ipad 4th gen headphone jack not working properly

Any ideas on this ?
Every time I put put my headphone jack in all I could hear is hiss sounds and when I try to maximize the volume I could hear the music but its too loud for me .
If I try to move my ipad 4th gen in stand it goes back normal , if I put it down or any other position I want to try it starts to give weird sounds again . ( plugged headphones )
It's my first time buying a tablet so I have little information about tablets and how to solve this .
Is it hardware or software issues or dust , it's been a week and half since I bought the ipad .
I'm quite satisfied with the buy but if it won't work well I guess I'm gonna be having a :( face .

Thanks so much for this post!
I got a lot of fluff out of my 1st gen ipod Touch's headphone jack. The audio would be fine if I used my Apple headphones (but they have completely fallen apart, 3rd replacement set from Apple) but with third party headphones I had the same problem as you described.

  • Acer Liquid E700 problem with headphone jack, not working properly.

    Here I am again, what a surprise! Reporting another problem with my 2 month old ACER LIQUID E700. Now the problem is, the headphone jack isnt working properly. When I watch movies, or play music with a headphone or earphone, the dialogue or conversations during movies , or the lyrics sang when playing music, can barely be heard. Also , everytime I connect my earphone it the E700, theres a fast ticking sound, which is faint but you can really hear it, and thats when I realized something was wrong. P.S This phone was never dropped or gotten wet. Im really starting to regret buying an acer phone.Any acer representatives out there who know whats going on?

    Well airstrike2014, I do know how it happened to me, it's weird but definitely how it happened, so I was downloading a electrical razor app to scare my friends (I know, it's stupid, but anyway) and the app works by vibrating at full power and playing a electric razor sound, but it would only vibrate (and the app description said that it would make some sounds too) and I tried maxing out my sound but there was really no way to make it play any sounds. I got tired of it 5 mins later and uninstalled thinking the problem was in the app or something, but I go watch a YouTube video right after and no sound was coming out either, even with the volume maxed out and with headphones, so I restart my phone, now sounds play perfectly when there aren't any headphones plugged in but when there are, it now happens what you described there, a tick sound lasting the first few seconds the headphones are plugged in and if I try to play any media it happens that "instrumental effect", other heaphones do the same, so it's obviously the phone.I mean, is it really possible that some kind of problem occurred while trying to vibrate and play sound at the same time? Well it was for me, the phone was fine until then.Sorry for the boringly long post haha

  • Headphone jack not working properly for Zen Mi

    I wrote to tech support and I my only response from tech supports was to just do a recovery of the Zen Micro. The thing is, this problem isn't a software issue but an actual physical issue. Could it have been damaged because I constantly swap my headphones when I'm out walking or the FM receiver while I'm in my car. This is like the first time I've ever had a problem with the headphone jack for any device, whether it be a cassette walkman, CD player, Game Boy. The situation is like this, if I plug something in to the jack, sometimes the sound output is fine, but just a slight touch or jiggle and the sound gets distorted. This is rather annoying if the player is in my pocket and the sound will constant distort because its in my pocket. Is there a way to fix this? It seems so minute but if I can't listen to my songs properly what good is the player?

    I know your new but I thought I would remind you to do a serach about the topic you did. Like my oleder post (still on this page) will tell you some fixes. Try http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ssage.id=34355 and that should work for you if you just put the headphones in the spot it works and hot glue around the hole it should work or you can use a gel super glue which seems to work just as well as the hot glue BUT do not use liquid superglue that could really mess up your device with a liquid.~Derek

  • IPod 5th gen headphone jack not working

    I Have the iPod 5th gen and only today the headphone jack has stopped working. When I plug the headphones in it is as if the iPod just doesn't see them and carries on playing music from the iPods speakers and not the headphones. I have no clue what it is doing or any idea on how to fix it.

    Hey Katie, as Philly Phan has stated there is a tiny switch inside the headphone port. If it gets stuck open your iPod will think the headphones are plugged in. The plugging / unplugging generally will free the switch. Also, try looking inside the port, your looking for foreign debris, like lint, if you see something try blowing it out or carefully remove it with a wooden round toothpick. Good luck, Cheers.

  • 4S Headphone jack not working properly - even after replacement

    Hi all,
    A friend of mine was going to throw their water damaged 64GB iPhone 4S away so I salvaged it.
    The charger port had corroded (main cause for it not turning on - flat) so I replaced it along with the battery, headphone jack, and front glass/display. It basically works fine and feels like a new phone now.
    One issue that persists is the headphone jack is outputting distorted noise when music etc is playing. I'd noticed this before replacing the jack and its replacement has made no difference. (Replaced jack which is attached to mute/vol keys and top mic - all else of which work.)
    The louder you set the volume, the less 'resistance' the distortion seems to have and the music sounds clearer. At the low end of the volume scale there seems to be almost no 'low volume ability' on the phone, ie it's off (move the volume slider just off 0) > it's on and way louder than it should be (clear and fine for about 5 seconds and then distorted/off) > louder with less distortion (also seems to momentarily fix the issue at low volume when increased.)
    I have run the music player all day at mid-high volume to see if it would sort itself out with no improvement or worsening. The earpiece, speaker, microphone, airplay, and all buttons are working as they should, it's just when using headphones do I get this crackling.
    My thoughts are something is stuffed on the main logiboard, but I'm really hoping that may not be the case. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
    Thanks for reading : )

  • IPod touch 32 g 4th gen video function not working properly

    So I am having 2 major problems with my iPod. 1, is that it won't let me add videos of any format tO my iPod other than .mov files and frankly since I have over 100 different videos on m iPod it would be kinda annoying to have to convert each one one at a time. This hadn't started happening till the last iPod software update whicy happened around last weekend. My 2nd problem is that my videos are not orginizing properly. For example under my TV shows section I have a show that should only have 26 episodes in it. Instead it has around 80 episodes in it which consist of other tv shows I have added but my iPod does not recognize that they do not belong there. I keep my videos very organized by episode, show, season, etc and I don't know what to do. I've tried restoring my iPod and that didn't work.
    My computer specs go as follows: thinkpad laptop, windows 7, latest iTunes and iPod touch software

    The 'wrong sorted TV episodes' bug was the first thing I noticed on 4.2.1's video player. I'd say the whole media part is buggy as never before, at least for me. I absolutely agree with you and in addition to this (as I mentioned here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12686533#12686533) the swipe to delete function on both podcasts and videos seems to be broken, not deleting properly.
    I'm also using Windows 7 (64-bit) for syncing, if anything could be related to Windows iTunes or Windows 7.

  • Will an ipad 4th gen bought in US work in the UK with a UK carrier?

    Will an ipad 4th gen bought in US work in the UK with a UK carrier?

    You have to make sure you purchase the correct iPad model - the AT&T version is model A1459 which WILL NOT access the 4G network on the EE network in the UK - will still work on 3G. You need the Sprint / Verizon model which is model A1460. The US store sells both.

  • Ipod 4th gen volume buttons not working. Volume bar not showing in music or video apps, not a speaker problem as this works fine when testing built in alarm tones???

    Ipod 4th gen volume buttons not working. Volume bar not showing in music or video apps, not a speaker problem as this works fine when testing built in alarm tones???

    Have you tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT2693 How do you contact Apple by email to report one of their pre-installed iPad Apps (ie Calender) is not working properly?

    How do you contact Apple by email to report one of their pre-installed iPad Apps (ie Calender) is not working properly?
    On trying to open month of March 2013 the pre-installed calendar just shuts down and closes.  Have tried restarting iPad but this didn't help and because its a pre-installed App am unable to re-install it.   Is this a universal problem or just affecting me?  Tried searching for support in both App Store and on Apple site and can't see how to report this.

  • How long does an iPad 4th gen last for not battery I mean in Years

    Hi .......ok so I got an iPad 4th Gen 16gb in New York last year (February 2013) and I was just wondering how long this will last, not in Battery life but in how long I can use it until it starts to get really slow and lagging and goes completely dead in years! I use my iPad regularly  maybe 4-5 hrs a day (average, sometimes more in a day and sometimes less) so can anyone help me how many years will I have my iPad before I will need a new one I keep my iPad in Great condition and no one uses bar me and I don't ever drop it or put anything illegal on it  so it is kept in great condition some people say that it depends on the size in GB on the iPad I have a 16GB white. Can anyone help me how long should I have my iPad for? Ohhh ya my iPad is running iOS 7.0.3 Thank You

    No.  Once sn iOS version comes out that is not compatible with your hardware, you cannot, obviously, update iOS any longer.  However, your iPad running the last release of iOS compatible with it will continue to run that iOS release at the same speed it always did.
    Nothing about any computer ever slows down with age - your cpu, RAM and storage all function at the same speed as they always did.  New software may add features that tax your system more than a newer system would be taxed, but nothing about your system changes just because the device ages.
    At some point, our system simply is unable to update or run newer software because that newer or updated software requires hardware features that yours simply does not have.  But your exisiting software on your existing hardware will continue to run just as it always has.
    As to when your system becomse unable to handle new software or iOS features, that is purely a matter of how quickly newer hardware comes out and how quickly software developers move to new features that your system cannot handle.
    There is no inherent reason to believe that an iPad 4 will not be compatible with the next release of iOS - it might not be, but it may very well be.  Depends entirely on what changes the next release (whenever that may be) introduces, and what new device hardware Apple may be working on.

  • 80G Headphone Jack not working

    My 80G iPod headphone jack stopped working.  I did the 5 R's.  Didn't fix it.  Transferred jack out of my old (dead) iPod to my 80G.  Nothing again.  Could have been a bad part though.  Can I buy this part on here?  Or is there anything else I can try?  Thanks a lot.

    Since you seem to know how to take them apart (and have the proper tools), maybe you can buy a broken iPod (of the same type) on eBay for the spare part.  Most iPods with a hard drive that are broken are broken because of a bad hard drive.  So your chances are good that the assembly with the headphone jack will be working.
    And you'll have some other spare parts, such as screen, click wheel, dock connector...
    If that broken iPod is broken because of a bad hard drive, but it is otherwise in better shape than your iPod, you can transplant your working hard drive into that iPod.

  • My iPad mini headphone jack not working can you help

  • IPhone 4 headphone jack not working right.

    So the headphone jack in my iPhone 4 i don't think is working properly. The right headphone does not put as much sound out as the left. I'm not sure why it was working perfectly just yesterday. I haven't dropped it or got water in it or anything. I tried plugging it in and unplugging it a few times, i reset my phone, turned it off then on and nothing seems to be working. Its not on silent and the volume thing is centered. Idk what could e happening. Help!!!

    I would test the headset in another device such as a computer
    and test another 3.5mm minijack headset in the phone to tell if it's the phone or headset

  • Redlight from headphone jack not work (Y410p)

    Welcome to the Lenovo Community !
    I am assuming that you did a One Key Recovery and restored your operating system to a like new condition ? 
    The red light should be OFF when everything is working properly on the your model.  If you did the One Key Recovery then the restoration corrected a driver problem with the audio that was causing the red light.
